Question

Six cone penetration tests and four exploratory borings have been performed at the site of a proposed warehouse building. The underlying soils are natural sands and silty sands with occasional gravel. The CPT results and a synthesis of the borings are shown in Figure 9.17. The warehouse will be supported on $3 \mathrm{ft}$ deep square footings that will have ultimate LRFD design downward loads of 100 to $600 \mathrm{k}$ and serviceability loads of 100 to $480 \mathrm{k}$. The allowable total settlement is 1.0 in and the allowable differential settlement is 0.5 in. Using ASD with these data and reasonable factors of safety, develop design charges for vertical loads (both ultimate and serviceability) and values of, $\mu_a, K_{\mathcal{A}}$, and $K_p$ for lateral design.
